https://apnews.com/article/wrong-driveway-shooting-new-york-gillis-monahan-b00206a2740a80af67e8086ef3ed75ba FORT EDWARD, N.Y. (AP) — A man was convicted of second-degree murder Tuesday for fatally shooting a young woman when the SUV she was riding in mistakenly drove into his rural driveway in upstate New York.
After deliberating for less than an hour, a jury found Kevin Monahan, 66, guilty for shooting 20-year-old Kaylin Gillis on a Saturday night last April after she and her friends pulled into his long, curving driveway near the Vermont border while they were trying to find another house. Monahan was also convicted of reckless endangerment and tampering with physical evidence.
Donald Boyajian, an attorney and spokesperson for the Gillis family, said they were thankful for the trial’s outcome.
“Obviously it’s a just result, but a very sad time for the family,” he said. “It doesn’t change what is going to be forever, which is the loss of their beautiful daughter.”
The murder conviction carries a maximum sentence of 25 years to life, which Washington County District Attorney J. Anthony Jordan said prosecutors would be seeking at Monahan’s sentencing, scheduled for March 1.
Gillis was killed days after the shooting of 16-year-old Ralph Yarl in Kansas City. Yarl, who is Black, was wounded by an 84-year-old white man after he went to the wrong door while trying to pick up his younger brothers.
On the night of Gillis’ death, the group of friends was traveling in caravan of two cars and a motorcycle looking for another person’s house party, when they mistakenly turned into Monahan’s driveway in the rural town of Hebron, about 40 miles (65 kilometers) north of Albany. They began leaving once they realized their mistake, but Monahan came out to his porch and fired twice from his shotgun, with the second shot hitting Gillis in the neck as she sat in the front passenger seat of an SUV driven by her boyfriend, authorities said.

During closing arguments earlier Tuesday, the prosecution told jurors Monahan was motivated by irrational rage toward trespassers. “He acted out of anger. That’s the only thing that can be inferred from shooting at people within 90 seconds of being on his property,” said Assistant District Attorney Christian Morris. “He grabbed his shotgun and intended to make them leave as fast as possible and he didn’t care if they were hurt or killed.” Monahan and his attorney maintained the shooting was an accident involving a defective gun. Monahan himself took the stand in his own defense, saying he believed the house he shared with his wife was “under siege” by intruders when he saw the vehicles approach. He said he first fired a warning shot to scare the group away. He said he then tripped over nails sticking up from the porch, lost his balance and the shotgun struck the deck. That, he said, accidentally caused his gun to fire at the Ford Explorer carrying Gillis. “I didn’t mean to shoot the second shot,” Monahan testified last week. “The gun went off.” Prosecutors also presented evidence during the trial that Monahan claimed to have been sound asleep when police showed up at his house later that night. Gillis’ father, Andrew Gillis, has described his daughter as someone who loved animals and had dreams of becoming a marine biologist or a veterinarian.

Never got these people while I was an apartment dweller, still don't get them now that I own a home. A ring at my doorbell is an opportunity to fuck with a salesman, Jehovah's witness or Mormon or a package I'm way to excited for arriving. Sometimes it's one of the neighbor kids offering to shovel some snow for a few bucks but I've never felt threatened enough to come out and start blasting because someone used my driveway to turn around. Assuming this guy didn't just want to kill someone: It must be rough to be that fucking afraid of the world.

I believe in home defense, but someone coming onto your property warrants as much as brandishing a weapon and waiting for them to leave or attack, if that. An immediate warning shot is a good way to immediately turn a benign situation into a disaster.

Whats with these gun fags wanting to murder people for any reason? Wanting to not being murdered for pulling into the wrong driveway is a really low bar. Really should have been the death penalty here. This gunfag just wanted to kill someone.

>>1259995 We are probably being lied to. Leftist news sources usually do that when guns are involved. They did it with Kyle, they do it when they omit anything about blacks and guns.
Actual shit probably went down, and the lefties are covering it up so that it looks like the home owner was deranged or whatever so they can steer public opinion & jurors.
No dude is getting out of his house armed in time when a vehicle turns around in his driveway. I'm sorry, that is just not practical or feasible. The car is fucking gone by the time you get your shotgun out of the case/safe/rack and head to the door, and that is WITH YOU SEEING THEM COME. Reality is you don't notice em right away and have to check the windows first. That car was fucking sitting there for some time, they HAD to be for a dude to get scared they were up to no good and seek to scare them off with a shotgun. Being kids, they were probably up to no good, doing some illegal shit the left & courts don't want us knowing about.
The alternative was this dude was a meme hillbilly sitting on his porch fully fucking armed ready as fuck to blast these fuckers West Virginia style. At which point "fuck around and find out" applies here. If you get blasted in the hood like this no one cares.

>>1259998 >pulled into his long, curving driveway >traveling in caravan of two cars and a motorcycle looking for another person’s house party Gonna have to press X to doubt. This house has one of those long as fuck driveways, and is labeled at the entrance. Real people not fucking about would immediately turn about at the entrance. But these kids fucked around and decided to roll up on a real nigga and fuck around. So they found out. And you know these kids have google maps and shit on their cell phones, they weren't fucking lost. They were fucking around as a gang, got caught, and found out.

The Republicunts in this thread protecting this fuckup are pathetic. >He said he then tripped over nails sticking up from the porch, lost his balance and the shotgun struck the deck. That, he said, accidentally caused his gun to fire at the Ford Explorer carrying Gillis. >“I didn’t mean to shoot the second shot,” Monahan testified last week. “The gun went off.” He's a blubbering pussy claiming that he dropped his gun and it fired 'by accident' right at the windshield of the car. If he was confident in his conviction and righteousness he'd just confirm the second shot and be proud about the murder This fuckhead realized he was in the wrong and tried to lie his way out of it. Lock him up forever.
